Shannon Wallis - WE the Change: Launching Big Ideas and Creating New Realities

Praise from Six Continents for
WE the Change

Brilliant! Genius! Necessary! Shannon has the uncanny ability to take an amorphous subject like Change Management and give it form and structure. I could have really used Shannons guidance when, in my thirties, a divorce necessitated that I get off my butt, visualize the life I wanted, and create that life. This is a must-read for anyone feeling stuck and not knowing what the first step in changing their situation should be. Kudos to Shannon for creating a playbook for pilgrims walking their own Camino de Santiago.

WE the Change is an invitation to all of us women who hesitate about our own ability and potential. The book gently nudges us to step out of our comfort zone and take the plunge. This book is a gift for all women who are exploring their own leadership and want to express it in their own authentic way. It is one of those rare books that I would keep on my bedside and open on a difficult day, knowing that it will provide me the guidance I need at that moment.

As someone in my early thirties, I found WE the Change to be insightful on continuing to chart my own path and not let society chart it for me. It reminded me to see the beauty in the journey itself, not just the final destination. And to always share my goals with my support team and never forget to show them gratitude.
